Defense Review likes having as many combat/tactical pistol options out there as possible, and the Jericho 941 pistol, based on the CZ-75 pistol, looks pretty good in photos and on video. Like the CZ-75, the Jericho's slide runs inside the frame rails and the pistol features a frame-mounted sweep-down manual thumb safety/decocker, so it would appear that you can carry the Jericho cocked and locked in Condition 1 AND decock it (unconfirmed/unverified), which DR likes. It should be notified that the Jericho has been significantly modernized ergonomically and appearance-wise over the CZ-75, and sports a trapezoidal slide.

The rear sight is a Novak-style slanted/sloped sight and both the front and rear sights feature Tritium dots (3-dot setup) and are dovetailed into the frame. Apparently, IWI is offering an extended threaded barrel for use with a suppressor (silencer/sound suppressor).

The Jericho 941 pistols of course integrate the now-standard Mil-Std-1913 "Picatinny" rail on the dust cover (underside of the forward portion of the frame).

The following information was pulled directly from the IWI Jericho pistol data sheet:

"JERICHO Pistol 941 (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP)

The JERICHO Pistol family is one of the most popular pistols in the world. The JERICHO Pistol combines design with a variety of features and models to create a pistol that offers outstanding performance and reliability.
